§ Mr. Andrew F. BennettTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many areas of limestone pavement have been notified for protection in Wales; how many have had orders made; and when limestone pavement protection will be complete in Wales.
§ Mr. Nicholas BennettThere are 10 known sites of limestone pavement in Wales. They are all protected as parts of sites of special scientific interest. As the sites are relatively small and not under threat, the Secretary of State does not propose to make any limestone pavement orders at present.
